Would you say the opening of the luggage BB is easier to get into?
Don't know either. When I use mine, I definitely bang my bag every once in awhile, and it hasn't given me any issues, but I don't use mine alot.
Yes, because the Vanity PM strap gets kind of in the way of opening the bag.
Both zippers have their issues (zip has to round a corner).
I've read people struggle with the Luggage BB because when brand new, the zipper is SUPER stiff. I rub the zipper periodically with wax paper and that takes care of the issue very nicely.
With the Vanity PM, the zipper is smoother from the get go but just a tiny bit awkward because it's a horizontally oriented (i.e., parallel to the floor as opposed to perpendicular if that's clearer) and the bag is softer. I thread my hand through the top handle and hold the bag down when I want to zip - that helps stabilize the bag while zipping.
If I had to unzip, get something out of my bag, put back in and zip again, I'm confident it'd be faster with the Luggage BB vs the Vanity PM.
Thank you! That's what I was thinking about the Vanity PM.
My MCM vanity looks like the LV Vanity, but the strap attaches at the top handle, which I like.
Yes! And with the MCM it looks more structured so it seems the zipper would be easier to use?
My concern with having the strap attached to the top handle is the bag flopping open and tipping over when the zipper is open, but I was looking at the small Chanel vanity with Chain (where the handle is the chain and comes out the top) and the bag just kind of rests against the body.
I'd love to own this but I called a Chanel boutique in Canada and they told me not a single store in Canada is getting this, and I really don't want to pay a premium for it. I contacted a reseller based in HK and she wanted $3,600 CAD for it when this retails for less than $2000 CAD. If people think scoring a popular LV is hard, they should try Chanel (sarcasm, I find Chanels so much harder to get).
The MCM does stay put against the body, so no problem.Yes! And with the MCM it looks more structured so it seems the zipper would be easier to use?

I would have gone crazy with the Chanel if it had a top handle!
I know, right? My Chanel black/beige Vanity Case remains one of my most prized bags in my collection. This newly launched case would've been SO CUTE with a top handle. It's really, really tiny based on measurements. I gather I would still be able to fit my phone, card wallet, keys, lipstick + lotion though (absolute bare minimum for me for a bag. Currently my smallest bag that holds all that and isn't like a mini pochette would be my Strathberry MC Nano).
Love when a designer/design house makes unboxing one of their bags an Event, and Asprinal of London did! Beautifully smooth leather. Gorgeous interior. Definitely going to use this to display on my dresser and hold certain jewelry pieces when not carrying it as a purse. Unboxed it at work on lunch break, since I couldn't wait til I get home. Patience is a virtue... That I do not possess. Total credit for this lovely addition to my collection goes to @jbags07 and @Sunshine mama !

Oh man! I looked at that and wanted to pull the trigger. Sooooo dang cute. Congrats!
Don't you just love the box, dustbag, and the whole presentation?
It's currently on sale for half off...
Thanks! And thanks for posting yours (and your daughters)! 
The presentation was incredible! Ribbon, box, wrapping, thank you card and AoL sticker, dustbag. All of it. And the bright red interior! Such smooth leather! 
Some of you may know Tanner Krolle used to be owned by Chanel, well, T K have had a makeover (again) and have some very nice and useful bags including a 23cm little Soft Trunk with removable shoulder strap and extra leather pouch. It comes in tan, brown and black. I think if the black had ghw I'd be a gonna.
I am so tempted coz it's so cute and TK are so beautifully made *sits on hands and hides CC from self*:

Stunning!! I was actually looking at the red version of this awhile back! And yes, that’s quite the presentation. I was impressed with how my Strathberry bag arrived as well!
The red version is stunning! And the gold hardware looks amazing against that red leather. Good to know about Strathberry. Thanks!
Now a TK 23cm soft trunk crossbody in black is on my wishlist...
And I am so happy that it has silver hardware!
